The journey from Heaven Dou City to Spirit City takes about twenty days.
The finals didn't last long; the entire competition was a knockout tournament with a total of 33 teams, and the final winner was decided in less than ten days.
Lin Mo and his group were also in the Heaven Dou Empire's convoy heading to Spirit City.
The grand procession was escorted by five hundred Royal Knights soldiers, and included several hundred teachers and students from more than a dozen academies, making the entire group over a thousand people.
The carriages lined up in a long procession and moved slowly along the official road.
The Royal Knights, mounted on tall horses, their armor gleaming metallically in the sunlight, stood in disciplined guard on both sides of the column.
Lin Mo sat in the carriage, looking out at the scenery through the window.
Before officially setting off, he made a point of observing the situation of the other teams.
They focused their attention on the Shrek Academy.
This brief observation led him to a rather interesting piece of information.
The rest of the Shrek Academy members were present, except for two core members, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, whose whereabouts were unknown.
Upon realizing this, Lin Mo's expression immediately became playful.
He knew very well where Yu Xiaogang was going; he had most likely gone to Spirit City ahead of time.
He went to his old flame Bibi Dong, to seek a solution for cultivating Twin Martial Souls simultaneously.
According to his memory, Yu Xiaogang would set off alone for Spirit City before the finals officially began, in an attempt to obtain the cultivation method for Twin Martial Souls from Bibi Dong.
This time, however, the situation may be somewhat different.
The two Soul Bone that Yu Xiaogang was supposed to absorb are now on Tang San's body.
A right arm bone and a left leg bone, both high-quality Soul Bone over ten thousand years old.
Such Soul Bone are extremely precious treasures even for Titled Douluo. The fact that Bibi Dong gave them to Yu Xiaogang speaks volumes about the affection she felt for him.
But now Yu Xiaogang has given these two Soul Bone to Tang San.
Upon realizing this, Lin Mo's expression became even more fascinating.
He was very curious about how Yu Xiaogang would explain to Bibi Dong that he had not absorbed the two Soul Bone Bibi Dong had given him, but instead had given them to Tang San.
What would Bibi Dong be thinking?
The Present that Yu Xiaogang carefully selected and presented with heartfelt affection was given away to someone else by Yu Xiaogang.
What's more, the recipient of this Present is Tang Hao's son.
If this goes wrong, Tang San could be directly targeted by Bibi Dong.
If that's the case, then things will get really interesting.
As for Tang San, Lin Mo didn't pay much attention to him.
Tang San's current disappearance can only be attributed to two possibilities.
Either, under Tang Hao's guidance, they would travel to the Blue Silver Forest ahead of time to complete the Blue Silver Emperor's Second Awakening.
Either Tang Hao decided to have Tang San switch to training the Clear Sky Hammer ahead of schedule.
After consecutive defeats in the preliminary and qualifying rounds, it was clear to everyone that Tang San's confidence in Blue Silver Grass had plummeted.
Under these circumstances, it's understandable that Tang Hao would agree to allow him to switch to repairing the Clear Sky Hammer.
But it doesn't matter to him which path Tang San chooses.
Even with the enhancement of several Soul Ring, Tang San's cultivation reached the Soul King. With the Clear Sky Hammer possessing all Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, Tang San was still no match for him and the Charizard.
And this is just a normal Charizard--
The difference in strength between the two was too great, so great that he didn't need to consider Tang San as a real opponent.
The procession continued its march.
The Royal Knights were well-trained, and their marching speed was not fast, but very steady.
At this rate, it will take about twenty days to reach Spirit City.
The team will pass through several cities along the way, where they will rest and replenish supplies.
This is standard practice.
Lin Mo's carriage was located in the middle of the procession, not far from the other members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team.
But their carriage was clearly guarded by more Royal Knights soldiers.
This is no coincidence.
On the other side, Xue Qinghe, as the representative of the Heaven Dou Empire, was also hidden in the group, though very few people knew about it.
Xue Qinghe's carriage didn't look much different from the others, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the horses pulling it were exceptionally strong, and the carriage itself was more sturdy.
As the crown prince, Xue Qinghe is the future of the Heaven Dou Empire. How could Xue Ye allow him to personally take such a risk?
Therefore, Xue Ye earnestly requested Ning Fengzhi to secretly protect Xue Qinghe.
Ning Fengzhi agreed readily.
Xue Qinghe was his disciple, so naturally he wouldn't stand idly by and watch his disciple risk his life.
As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi always had a powerful protector by his side.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, one of these two Super Douluo will always be by his side to ensure his safety.
This time, it was Sword Douluo's turn to follow, while Bone Douluo was stationed at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Therefore, Xue Qinghe's carriage did not contain only him; Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were also there to protect him.
The situation was the same for Lin Mo.
Thanks to his reckless behavior last Shi Nian, almost everyone now knows that Dugu Bo is secretly protecting Lin Mo.
The sheer power of a Titled Douluo is enough to deter most petty villains.
Lin Mo and his group did not follow the main force of the Heaven Dou Team One. He, Dugu Bo, Ye Lingleng, and Dugu Yan rode in a carriage alone.
It's unclear whether this was due to Xue Qinghe and Xue Ye's overtures, or because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also intended to extend an olive branch to them.
The carriages carrying Lin Mo and Xue Qinghe were very close together, seemingly looking out for each other.
The two carriages were less than ten meters apart, a distance that Soul Master could cover in an instant.
In the event of an accident, both sides can provide immediate support.
The interior of the carriage.
Dugu Yan lifted the curtain on the other side of the car window, looked at the scenery rushing past, and said, "Grandpa, I heard the prizes for this year's finals are very generous?"
Dugu Bo opened his eyes and glanced at her. "What, are you tempted?"
"Of course I'm tempted!"
Dugu Yan said with a grin, "The champion's reward is three Soul Bone! Those are Soul Bone!"
She made no attempt to hide the excitement in her voice.
The Captivate of Soul Bone to Soul Master is undeniable.
Even Dugu Yan, who comes from an extraordinary background, does not currently possess a Soul Bone.
Ye Lingling nodded gently, " The Spirit Hall has indeed spared no expense this time."
Only a powerful force like the Spirit Hall, with its long history, could accumulate such a large stockpile of Soul Bone.
Even with the Spirit Hall's resources, offering three Soul Bone as a champion's reward at once is still a significant financial burden.
However, for them, this expense is not unbearable.
Moreover, it's still uncertain who will ultimately acquire these three Soul Bone.
The Spirit Hall believes that their Spirit Hall Team will most likely win the championship.
The three Soul Bone were simply transferred from one hand to the other.
It can also showcase the grandeur of the Spirit Hall and attract more geniuses to join.
This achieves multiple benefits at once.
Dugu Yan turned to look at Lin Mo, her eyes sparkling. " A-Mo, do you think we have a chance to win the championship?"
Lin Mo smiled. "I'll do my best."
However, despite saying that, one could tell from Lin Mo's tone that he was determined to win the championship of this Soul Master Tournament.
It was precisely because the champion's prize was three Soul Bone that Lin Mo and the other two had not revealed their cultivation levels to the outside world during this period.
